Oh, I love these :) Hey! Can I get a side of misogyny with my manifest destiny? Seriously -- 1960s politics and society do not age well. Especially in Gene Roddenberry's supposed "Utopia" of the future.

Janice Rand disappeared without a word two seasons ago and we just generally pretend she never existed.

Awwwww :( It was nice of you to give her a mention.

ELAAN: The fact that one of the people I am shortly going to share a planet with is on this ship is causing me to behave like I was of
pre-school age.

PRE-SCHOOLS: *do not want her*

Who would? She was obnoxious, wasn't she?

RANDOM REDSHIRT: *is random* The captain and all the aliens yelling right beside me do not interest me enough to look their way.

You have to admire his concentration :) And random_redshirt would make a bitchin' LJ name...hey, it already is one!

KIRK: ...I will teach you about the rules and manners of his planet, despite having no clue what they are. I will therefore teach you ours and assume that they are basically all the same anyway.

*headkeyboard*

ELAAN: *slaps KIRK*

KIRK: *slaps ELAAN* You cannot slap people who tell you the truth.

ELAAN: I can slap people who insult the living daylight out of me. I can also attempt to murder them. *attempts to murder KIRK*

KIRK: I don’t care, you missed. I’ll be back tomorrow.

You summed that up in all its dubious glory :p Although I have to admit that I like the mutual slapping. *snerk*

KIRK: Let me tenderly wipe the tears off your face because I totally didn’t listen to the explanation about the effect your chemicals have on men that was given by Petri while I was standing right beside him.

Even though I was young and foolish, the first time I saw that it totally cracked me up. Talk about being led by your...

ELAAN: Let’s cuddle! Sex made me a better person!

You know, until a year-and-a-half or so ago, I'd never heard of the Magical Healing Cock. LJ is so educational :D

And then, look, it's the Magical Necklace Ex Machina! (Yeah, yeah, I know, my Latin is terrible.)

SPACESHIP SEX: *happens*

ENTERPRISE: *tops*

ME: *ROFL*

Speaking of offensive female stereotypes, can you do Gamesters of Triskelion next? Pretty please?

The slapping was the best part of the episode. I mean, honestly, who watching the episode didn't want to do that?

Gamesters of Triskelion? Is that the one with the colourful talking brains and the Arena fights? Ugh... I can't promise that - it's so freaking awful I don't want to touch it with a ten foot pole. Also, no Bones = makes me sad. (Though, in this case maybe not.)
On the other hand, you're awesome, so I might do it for you.
